Our mission is to preserve and share the history of the people of Ryegate, Vermont. Vermonters have always had a unique way of thinking about things, one that we believe comes from our rural way of life. The town of Ryegate has its own stories to tell, from its founding in 1763 right up through to the modern day. We hope that by sharing these stories we can offer insight into a unique way of looking at the world.
If you also possess a passion for rural history and rural life, consider becoming a member or donating to our organization.
